Testing the changes

  • I tested the changes in this PR: YES

New package

Local build testing

  • I built this PR locally for my native architecture, (x86_64)
  • dependencies opencomposite and xrizer are additionally build for i686 (to support 32 bit games)

WiVRn is a VR streaming server for standalone headsets. opencomposite and xrizer are two optional back-end translation layers it can use. xrizer is more modern and performant, but less compatible. opencomposite is old and stable, but not as performant. Both options are provided.

We do not accept binary redistributions of open-source projects. This must be compiled from scratch.

Before you undertake further effort on this or other new submissions, please take some time to familiarize yourself with our submission and review expectations by starting with updates to existing packages.

My mistake, I misread the templates. Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for the re-read, I was about to say, I spent quite a while fighting these things to make them compile, pretty sure it's not binary!! :P

After prodding the dev, a new release of xrizer is available (0.5). I'll update this PR after i've had time to thoroughly test my build of it.

Marking WIP until then. Hope this is the right way to handle it, let me know if not! Thanks :D

I have finished testing xrizer 0.5 and can confirm it works well! I did a polish pass over the files and am removing the WIP mark.
